Jaysbro

Am I crazy if I talk to myself?

hi Jaysbro; I seem to have been slightly overzealous in deleting spam links. As you will undoubtedly know, links keep popping up on finance pages which do not add anything to an entry, but are solely to get readers to use certain services. I tend to take a (perhaps slightly too) cynical view of all these commercial links. Which means that I sometimes inadvertendly delete links that actually do add something to a discussion. I do apologize if I deleted a link which would have explained the concept of closed-end funds better than the current entry. ~~

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip on Roberts. I feel like a tool, but I really appreciate the info. jengod 18:22, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Re Bloggs

Articles that are linked to, but haven't been created, are often referred to as "red links" on Wikipedia becuase they show up as red links. You'll find many red links throughout the encyclopaedia. Just because the article doesn't exist yet doesn't mean that the link is invalid and needs to be changed. If you look at the history of the Bloggs page, you'll see that the editor before you added the "Blogg" link deliberately, in anticipation of an article being written on the surname Blogg.

AfD Nomination: PocketDish

I've nominated the article PocketDish for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that PocketDish satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PocketDish. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of PocketDish during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion.

Dsummer/UnumProvident controversy

Jaysbro, thanks for the note. I'm new and learning. I'll try again with edits but thought my documentation (footnotes) validated the copy I submitted. I did not intentionally mean to violate the rules -- again, I'm still learning. Thanks for your advisory.

(regarding posting: Jaysbro 16:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)) I want to let you know that I was not intentionally violating any rules by editing the page. I felt my edits were supported with verified footnotes, and thought them to be acceptable. I do understand that I cannot copy/paste existing content from other sites and will correct and resubmit as you've instructed. My apologies -- I'm still learning how this works. --the preceding unsigned comment was added by Dsummer

Vidas de Fuego

I've created another version of the page at Talk:Vidas_de_Fuego/Temp as per the copyvio template. Does it pass the copyvio requirements? - fmmarianicolon | Talk 07:34, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

After I found that it was moved to the Vidas_de_Fuego/Temp, it looks good. See the Vidas de Fuego talk page. Jaysbro 15:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

If there is no objection to this, we should move the Temp article over to the original as soon as possible Robert Moore 17:51 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Isn't the usual way to do things to wait a week to see if the original editor wants to raise an objection? Jaysbro 16:23, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

See also Vidas de Fuego/Temp

The article you tagged as being a possible copyright infringement is being recreated as the article in this subject line. I don't know enough about this area to put a tag like that on an article. It appeared as a see-also in the Ugly Betty article. Thanks, Ronbo76 20:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Banners should be used after discussion of the issues and if needed to get additional editor resources. You need to explain your concerns and how you think they should be addressed. Morphh ^(talk) 17:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Duxiana

A tag has been placed on Duxiana, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Gimboid13 06:23, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Robin Smith (psychologist)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Robin Smith (psychologist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. -- Patchy1 REF THIS BLP 16:37, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Help me!

Please help me with whether I can petition to speedily delete the page Juggalo:_Insane_Clown_Posse,_Their_Fans,_and_the_World_They_Made . It appears to be a non-notable, non-published book; all of the sources are the author's website, and the page reads like a commercial.

Jaysbro (talk) 23:52, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi! The page does not qualify for speedy deletion under any of the A7 (no indication of notability) criteria because that does not apply to books. G11 (blatant spam) applies to anything, but my opinion is that page isn't quite spammy enough for that to apply. Your best bet would be to follow the instructions at WP:AFD if you feel the article should be deleted. You'll create a discussion page where editors can decide if there is consensus to delete the article. You'll want to cite the relevant policies (WP:N most likely) in your nomination rationale.

Newburgh Shortcut moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Newburgh Shortcut, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
